Salman's allegations say that in 1998, al-Qaeda accused him of killing two Black Bucks, Blackbucks, as they were shot in the state of Rajasthan in 1998.
Other Bollywood star actors suspected of the crime have been released from these allegations.
Salman, a 50-year-old man, can appeal to a high court against a court decision.

- Why is Salman Khan sentenced?
But he was released in three cases.
In 2006, a lower court ruled him guilty and sentenced him to five years in prison. However, after considering the appeal, Salman was released in 2016 in the High Court of Rajasthan.
The State of Rajasthan has made an appeal to the Supreme Court against the verdict.
Salman has started the judicial process against hunting wild animals by the Bishno community, worshiping blackbacks.
- Is there any other charge against Salman?
He was found guilty of the accident in a lower court and told the court that his driver was driving at the time of the accident. However, the Judge's decision was that Salman had consumed liquor when the incident took place.
Salman was released after seven months in high court. The Supreme Court's verdict was that none of the main allegations against him, including the evidence given by a police officer who died in the case, could not be accepted.
In 2017, he was acquitted of a lawsuit against the use of illegal blackmail for Blackbirds.
